red sox talking to laroche....
posted at 12/27/2012 11:12 AM EST
The Red Sox are talking with free agent Adam LaRoche, two sources tell Jen Royle of SB Nation Boston (via Twitter). LaRoche is seeking a three-year deal and a third source tells Royle that he's still not willing to compromise on contract length.
LaRoche would be the alternative to signing Mike Napoli, but major league sources tell Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports that Boston would prefer to complete their deal with the backstop. The Red Sox haven't given any official word on why the deal with Napoli hasn't been completed, but sources say that an issue with one of Napoli's hips has given the club pause. There's an agreement in place for a three-year, $39MM deal, but the Red Sox could simply walk from it since it has not been finalized.
If the Red Sox did sign LaRoche, Rosenthal writes that Napoli would go back into the market and likely accept a shorter, cheaper deal, possibly from the Rangers. The Nationals would fill the void internally by moving Michael Morse to first base and go with an outfield of Bryce Harper in left, Denard Span in center, and Jayson Werth in right. However, Napoli remains Boston's preference in part because signing LaRoche would cost a second-round pick.
The Napoli problem is familiar territory for Boston as they put language in the contracts of right fielder J.D. Drew and right-hander John Lackey to protect from pre-existing medical conditions. According to sources, the Red Sox are working to get Napoli to agree to similar protection in his deal.

Glad Softbrain isn't the GM.
Laroche gives a solid glove at 1B, and serious power.
In his short time here, he showed he could take advantage of the wall. Other than being right handed, I see zero advantage to signing Napoli over Laroche.
So they lose a second round draft choice? Ben thinks he can hold onto everything, and still get what he wants. Ridiculous. Not every draft choice will be a star, let alone and MLB player.

Offer the 3rd rate LaRoche a one year and 5M contract, which is quite expensive for someone of his profile. Offer Napoli a take it or leave it one year deal at 15M with an option for year two and buyout of 1M, which is a big risk.
Cherry has been caught with his pants down. He should have already signed Loney for 2M to make sure he had a backup plan in place until the trade market improved.
[/QUOTE]This doesn't make sense. Why offer the guy anything if you are going to offer 20% of the minimum that he'll get? That's like driving driving 40 miles to visit a house for sale, and then offering them $60,000 for a $300,000 house. Negotiating for the best deal is one thing, making an offer that is certain to be mocked is a waste of time and money.

LaRoche isnt going to take a discount to join the Red Sox. Right now he is already giving the Nats a hard time on signing a new contract. Sounded alike that LaRoche is begging for Nats to give him a contract like Napoli's.
I just think Ben is just looking for a back up plan at the same time he is probably just trying to wake up Napoli when he hear that Boston is talking to LaRoche. Napoli isnt going to try to void this contract talk with Boston and then walk away cuz he know that he will not be able to find 3yrs/39mm contract at anyway or nor to find a 13 millions dollars contract at anywhere. Napoli may have to just accept whatever Boston asked him to put a medical clause in the contract.

[/QUOTE]Exactly. Just ben doing his due diligance. He's obviously not happy with the in house first base options so if napoli falls through he wants to have someone else ready to take napoli's place.

thought laroche was a better choice than napoli from the outset. obviously at this point the key to the sox is length of contract, and also the loss of draft picks. at this point, with napoli slipping away, they need another option so they might be willing to lose the second rounder. 2 @ 24 would make sense for laroche, though they'd probably go as high as 2 @28. and they might even go to their now standby 3 @39. whether they sign laroche, the napoli situation gets worked out, or they move on to plan C or D or E (or whatever it will be), this would likely be followed by another pick-up of a 1B/OF.

There's just no way the Sox drag this Napoli deal out this long unless there's something SERIOUSLY concerning about that hip. I say move along to Laroche and be happy about it. I think Laroche is a solid bat+glove, and would fit in with what we're trying to do. Hip's are just too risky for my blood.

Canned or Dry Food collected will benefit St. Luke's Episcopal Church Pantry Bag Program. The food can be donated at Station 1 (behind High Tech and Hardee's) at 506 Chinabee Ave. in Jacksonville between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the drive.
The Pantry Bag program donates bags of canned or dry food to those in need in the Jacksonville area, a week or so before Christmas to alleviate hunger during the holiday season.
"We the members of JFD and JPPFA always want to help the needs of our community. It's always great to Pay it Forward and help those that we protect especially during the holidays," said David Bell, president of Local 3948.
This year, the firefighters are teaming up with St. Luke's Episcopal Church to distribute the food on Saturday, Dec. 14, at the church, located just off the southeast Public Square in Jacksonville. Every month, Jacksonville State students from Canterbury Club, St. Luke's campus ministry, give away free beans and rice as pantry-fillers to people in need. In December, the students join with the Daughters of the King women's spirituality group to add a grocery sack of goods to the rice and beans.
"Our college students have been giving away food every month for three years now," said the Rev. Michael Rich, the priest at St. Luke's. "It connects them to the needs of the community, and it's an eye-opening experience for them. It's exciting to match resources with the firefighters to help even more people."
The food collected will be distributed on or around Saturday Dec 14 at St. Luke's Episcopal Church. For more information on the Pantry Bag Program, contact: Rev. Michael Rich 256-435-9271 or 256-452-2885. For more information regarding donations of canned or dry foods contact: David Bell at firstname.lastname@example.com or 256-310-8961.

1918 West End Ave, Nashville, TN | Directions 3720336.151818 -86.798842
Sun 12pm -11pm, Mon-Thurs 11am - 12am, Fri - Sat 11am - 1am
Bartenders need to brush up on the social graces... Meant for Boscos...NOT Blackstone.......Sorry.... – Attention...........The below review was meant for Boscos NOT Blackstone.. Sorry. Posted to the wrong place.
Wow, the beer! Red Ale, right on! – OK, so I admit I made three trips here in the two weeks I spent in Nashville. The first time was for some beer sampling before a dinner elsewhere. Well, sold! The red ale was about the most addiciting thing since Caribbean rainforest zip lines. Beyond tasty. The next trip we ordered pizza which was really tasty and went perfect with the beer. Third trip was just a hamburger and a beer, but it could have been a cheese sandwich for all I care. The beer here is excellent and can compete with anything I've had foreign or domestic.
Blackstone...you cant beat it. Period. – I LOVE this place. It is by far the best brewpub in Nashville. Whenever I'm in town i have to stop in and get some Great food and Great beer. Fish and Chips, Ribs, Filet, Pork Tenderloin, just to name a few are all fantastic...especially the Fish and Chips. The apps are also amazing especially the artichoke dip, nachos (which just seem to taste better than most other places and i cant put my finger on exactly why..maybe the black beans?), and glorious wings. Great thin crust pizzas too. Wonderful beer that in my opinion totally beats Boscos and knocks Yazoo out of the water. Its really not hard to see why they've won so many awards for the beer. Porter-Probably the best I've have ever had. Nut Brown-Great. Chaser-Taste like a kolch should but I dont like kolchs. Red Springs-Great amber and one of my favorites. The only downfall in my opinion is they usually don't have very many hoppy beers on...other than the Amber. And i am a hop guy. I wish they would put their AMAZING IPA on all the time, but what can you do. If you like beer and know anything about it you will see that this place does everything right. Food is also Great. You just cant beat it. Period!
The food is good and "up and coming" . You cannot beat the beer anywhere in town! – Blackstone is above and beyond the best brewery in Nashville. They recently aquired a new Chef, so they are providing daily lunch and dinner specials that have been wonderful and new "soup of the day" options that use seasonal ingredients and are equally great. The previously reviewed "spill in the brewery" smell is called BREWING BEER! If you don't want to experience hand-crafted perfection, then I do advise against going during lunch hours, as that's when the brewers work. Brewing beer involves a process in which hot lauder, or mash, is madeand this does produce and odor.. I personally, find this smell nice. It can be floral, or, ir you're lucky, they are brewing Nut Brown, which is wonderfully sweet and malty, and just down right makes you hungry! So, any time you're there and smell the BEER BREWING IN THE BREWERY, poke you're head around the corner and watch the guys work. You might learn a thing or two like I did;and maybe not seem so ignorant on your next "review".
For the reviews it gets, I don't understand why it's not as good as they say – I went during the lunch hour. We got seated promptly and our waiter was very good. But the food was just ok and something had been spilled in the brewery and made everything smell REALLY BAD. I've been to brewery restaurants and had much better food than this. It just kind of seemed to be an over priced novelty restaurant type of food. I'd have rather gone to Rainforest Cafe or Hard Rock Cafe and gotten the better smell and ambience and pay for their over priced food than eating at Blackstone. It just didn't give me a good first impression.
Great in every way! – Wonderful!!! The place was fabulous in every way - good beer, good food, good service and good atmosphere.
Give some serious thought to ordering off the Pub Specialities portion of the menu - the food is unique and yummy. The shepherd's pie was piping hot and full of flavor, the steak & biscuits were tender and the perfect amount, the ribeye juicy and full of flavor. I'm told the garlic potatoes were good, and the lemon caper chicken came with a full plate of fresh (not canned) vegetables.
Dessert - you have to try the Raspberry Bash. I would drive to Nashville just to have that again.
Check it out - it's worth it!
Gouda Grits make the world go round. – About every month or so I pay a visit to Blackstone Brewery. The chipotle pork loin, served with gouda grits, and asparagus, rocks my world. I highly recommend this place.
Our Favorite Restaurant before a Predators Game! – We always head to Blackstone's before a Predators Game! The service is fabulous and they help us get out in time to get to the GEC. Our favorite menu items include Shepherd's Pie, Fish 'n' Chips, and of course, the pizzas! There is something for everyone. Of course, our favorite Blackstone beer would be the Chaser Pale! Also, we like that we can buy it in the grocery now!! It's a party favorite!
great food, not so great service – i have been dining here for the four years i have lived in nashville. i have yet to have a bad meal, food wise. the service has NEVER been good, but i accept that when i go.
the pizzas are amazing, especially the santa fe pizza. the vegetarian lasagna is good, as is the black bean burger (not on the dinner menu, but is available). the pretzels are also very good. the mustands are great with them!
it can get crowded, so we just go to the bar and get a drink.
i take everyone from out of town here, and they always rave about the food as well and ask to go back.
Blackstone Blah! – My husband & I went to blackstone recently after having lived in Nashville for 7 years and never having been there...wished we'd kept it that way! Maybe they have good beer, but that's all you might want to go for!!! I had the salmon which smelled so bad I could hardly eat it and my husband had the trout which he had to pour salt on and tear the skin off the bottom. Plus to make it worse the decor looks like a mid 1990's steak house threw up in there! We will not be going back.

In Her Defense, It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time...
Although Anna Goldfarb is very tall, she can't seem to grow up. While her friends lead lives seemingly plucked out of the pages of an Ikea catalog, she is still trying to figure out where she'll score this week's beer money.
Maturity used to be something she aspired to, but as a woman in her early thirties, it is finally time for her to take a good hard look in the mirror and ask herself, "Is adulthood really for me?"
Clearly, I Didn't Think this Through chronicles Anna's hilarious attempts to get her love life, career, and living situation under control. But, the more she tries to conform to where she thinks she should be, the harder it is for her to get there. Can't a tall, busty, smart brunette get a break?

"Great weight paper. Matte finish. Note that the bubbles are white in color. This invite was for a serious and yet fun event, and conveyed that message very well. Photo, on reverse side, was good quality."
"What fun this invite is for an outdoor party. We held an early fall outdoor party with lights strung throughout the yard. This invite set the mood for fun! Love Tiny Prints thick card stock quality & designs. Can find something for every occasion!. ."
"I was very pleased with my selection. I gave my daughter a Sweet Shoppe Bollywood Style Party and I couldn't quite find the right invitations. I saw these and stopped looking for other invites. The lanterns and color was perfect. The ages of the girls were from 7 to 13 years old and they loved them when they got them in the mail. The parents were excited, that the invites were so sophisticated, but yet not too grown-up for the occassion."
"I changed the font color as well as some of the wording to fit the needs of my themed party. It was a fiesta so I changed "It's party time" to "Fiesta". I loved the colors and the simplicity of the invitations. My guest were impressed with how well they were done and thought they were beautifully incorporated with the party itself. I liked the cardstock thickness because it didn't easily damage or bend."
"The card was so cute and the quality was amazing. Several people called me just to tell me how pretty the invitiation was! I will defiently be ordering more!"


text: I started my dogs on it almost 5 years ago at the suggestion of a friend. She told me of how it helped her dogs fend against fleas & ticks. Where I now live is out in the country on what was once land used to graze livestock. They (the fleas & ticks) gave the builders fits but with proper application of fertilizer/pesticide, making sure to follow a rigid daily routine of giving it to them, the dogs have been virtually flea/tick free. I would highly recommend it not only for the vitamin benefits and but how it defends the dogs against fleas & ticks.

Not having an internet connection is killing me, and it is now unlikely that I'll have one for another three weeks at the very least. I hate having to come across the road to the internet cafe, which appears to have air conditioning that is running permanently. This might not seem so bad, but to put it into perspective: It was snowing the other day.
I don't know if any of you read my .plan entry, but the last thing I wrote was about my move to London. Well, i'm here! But, and this is a big But, I'm moving again in three weeks time to a brand new flat in Reading. I could go in to the whys and wherefores, but i won't - suffice to say that I think i'm suffering "Internet Withdrawal Syndrome"
I don't know if any of you have experienced this before, but I find myself lost for things to do in the evening. If I have nothing planned, I just do nothing. Play a little XBox, watch a little TV until it pisses me off so much because it's sh*t, but nothing productive. I know if I had an internet connection I'd be sitting at my computer(s) chatting to some people, coding and reading the news (and posting news to DevMaster of course!) but I've barely even sat down at my computer for the last two weeks or so, and when I do, I just randomly click around for a while before getting bored.
The thing is - I know that it is possible to work on my project without the internet, as there are plenty of little bits of code I should be writing, but it just seems that sitting down at the machine has lost all joy for me without a net connection.
Anyone else?

U.S. Fiscal Policies and Priorities for Long-Run Sustainabilityby Martin Mühleisen Christopher Towe Roberto Cardarelli Paula De Masi Iryna Ivaschenko Michael Kell Ayhan Kose Jim Prust Dominique Simard
This paper presents an overview of recent U. S. fiscal developments and discusses possible implications of the sharp turn around in the government's fiscal position. Against this back ground, it also reviews key policy challenges that will need to be addressed to cope with the mounting pressures on public retirement and health care systems during the next decade. the study draws principally from back ground papers that were prepared for the IMF staff's annual consultation discussions with the U. S. authorities in 2002 and 2003.

Orlando, Fla., Oct. 14, 2013 - California pharmacy owner I.R. Patel, RPh, has received the NARD™ Ownership Award from the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) Foundation. The award was presented at NCPA's 115th Annual Convention and Trade Exposition, held Oct. 12-16 in Orlando, Fla.
Sponsored by the NCPA Foundation, the NARD Ownership Award, now in its second year, recognizes an independent pharmacist who embraces the entrepreneurial spirit through promotion and demonstrated excellence in the field of community pharmacy ownership. The award is inspired by the legacy of NARD, which was, for nearly 100 years, the name associated with independent pharmacy. The National Community Pharmacists Association was founded in 1898 as the National Association of Retail Druggists, and represents the nation's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 23,000 pharmacies.
"I.R. Patel embodies the true spirit of community pharmacy ownership and entrepreneurship," said Sharlea Leatherwood, PD, President of the NCPA Foundation. "His customer-first philosophy has served his business and his patients well, and we can all learn something from his ingenuity and commitment to the practice of independent pharmacy. The NCPA Foundation is proud to honor I.R. with our second NARD Award, and we know he will continue to enjoy much success while inspiring new community pharmacy owners."
Patel has owned the Bi-Rite Quality Pharmacy in La Habra, Calif. since 1995. During those 18 years, Patel has developed a successful front-end business with a number of hard-to-find remedies as well as niche services, including durable medical equipment and long-term care.
A graduate of Manipal University School of Pharmacy in Manipal, India, Patel has worked in and managed three different pharmacies over the course of his professional career, including Sav-On Drugs in Los Angeles, Alliance Medical Equipment & Respiratory Pharmacy in Ontario, Calif., and Bi-Rite Quality Pharmacy.
Patel is active with the California Pharmacists Association and the Indian Pharmacists Association (IPA), where he currently serves on the advisory board and previously served as president and chairman. He acts as a preceptor at Western University School of Pharmacy and is a member of the Dean's Council at the University of Southern California School of Pharmacy, where he speaks regularly on pharmacy ownership and other topics. In addition, he serves on the board of directors for the Community Pharmacy Network, Inc. (CPNI).
Patel has been recognized by numerous groups for his efforts on behalf of the industry and community pharmacy. He has received the IPA Lifetime Achievement Award from the Indian Pharmacists Association and the Michael L. Huston Award from United Drugs.
The NCPA Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established in 1953 to honor the previous incarnation of NCPA, the National Association of Retail Druggists (NARD) Executive Secretary John W. Dargavel. Contributions to the foundation are tax-deductible as charitable donations to the extent permitted under federal tax law. The NCPA Foundation supports the growth of independent community pharmacy through scholarships to pharmacy students, critical research/programs to improve the success of independent pharmacy and patient care, community service programs, and financial aid to community pharmacy owners for their recovery in the event of disaster or other adverse circumstances. For more information, please visit www.ncpafoundation.org.
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA®) represents the interests of America's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 23,000 independent community pharmacies. Together they represent an $88.7 billion health care marketplace, dispense nearly 40% of all retail prescriptions, and employ more than 300,000 individuals, including over 62,000 pharmacists.

Remember Me

By Gus Jarvis
TELLURIDE – With less than a week to go, the countdown to Barack Obama and the Democratic National Convention in Denver has begun. Rather, it began quite some time ago, even years ago for some, but for me, there are simply days left before the spotlight shines on Denver and covering this massive event has started to weigh on me.
How do Carlos, Anne and I cover the most important and exciting convention we will probably ever experience. How do we cover it in a way our readers will find different than what will already be inundated in their heads by every television news organization? What can I write that isn't already being said by the heads on CNN, NBC and The Daily Show? Sitting at my desk in Telluride right now, six days away from the start of the convention, I have no clue what it will be like and what we will experience. What I do know is that this certain spectacle will alter our thoughts, mentality and physical well-being and we will be there to report, of course, as professionals.
Carlos and I have been issued hall press credentials while Anne will be our acting base with her parameter pass where the regulars of the U.S. and world press corps will be filing its many, many stories throughout four-day event. I had no certainty of getting the passes when I applied for them several months ago but was somewhat surprised to find that we had been accepted. The Watch will be rubbing elbows with the pros of the national press.
Given the circumstances of the current race for the President of the United States of America, I certainly support Obama. He is the last hope to end a seemingly dark, dark period of American history. That is the fact of the matter. But I haven't always felt that way.
My political season started off at our local Democratic and Republican caucuses here in San Miguel County last February. I remember it was one of those heavy snow nights in Telluride where it was a pain in the ass to go out because of the slick and treacherous roads. This did not stop the Obama faithful from coming out in droves to the various caucus precincts in town.
I showed up in support of Sen. Hillary Clinton. I should have known my candidate was in trouble that night when an Obama supporter excitedly told me that my precinct caucus had been moved to a larger room because the turnout was so great. Voter turnout great? At a caucus?
"Mmm," I thought. "The Democrats in this have really had enough of bullshit Republican leadership. Everyone and their grandma are going to turn out and vote this year for a Democrat. There will be nothing to stop us now." I followed the direction of the gleeful volunteer.
When I finally made it into the precinct above the fire station, the room had already been packed like a can of sardines and divided into good and evil. Of course, I took a seat on the evil side with just three other Clinton supporters – all middle-aged women. There I sat, facing every well-known citizen, environmentalist, butcher, mechanic, teacher, bus driver, government official, and street musician who were looking at me like I had just committed a cardinal sin.
"Join us!" They jeered. "We can't be stopped! Come on over. Obama is change!"
The two or three who hadn't yet decided looked at the Clinton side and then looked back to the Obama side and finally went over with the mass encouragement.
Instead of making any last-minute decisions, I made my vote count for the Clinton side and immediately and quietly slipped out the side door into the frigid Telluride night.
"Gimme a Bud," I said the man behind the bar in a pub that was just a few steps away from the caucus. Ski season was in full swing but there seemed to be nobody drinking on that particular Tuesday evening. As I sat there nursing the beer, I wondered exactly what it was about Obama that made him so popular. How could a junior Senator from Illinois get so many people to take that leap of faith and support his candidacy?
I supported Clinton for her experience and brilliance and still do. Obama's experience was the big question mark in my mind and yet so many others across the country and the world have answered it themselves.
Now, seven months later, I will be going to the heart of the Democratic Party with that same question – unanswered – in my mind. I know he can talk the talk, but can he walk the talk he has so successfully given us? The world is watching this convention to answer this question as well. We are taking a risk by supporting such a candidate.
Not that the risk for voting for Obama is anything like the risk of voting for John McCain. We know what he will do and how he will rule the roost. He may say different, but we certainly know how he acts. Voting for what McCain says he will do is an even bigger leap of faith, one that I believe is futile.
The DNC will be all about easing not only apprehensions of Obama's leadership ability but the lingering question of can he win on Nov. 4. Even those who have wholeheartedly given themselves to the election of Obama have some questions looming in their heads.
The best of the best of the Democrat world will be in Denver next week to display their best oratory and persuasive skills. Michelle Obama. Hillary and her sidekick Bill. The vice presidential nominee, who will be announced via text any day now. Bruce Springsteen. And finally, Barack Thursday. They will all be there to show us that a change for the better is in the air and that it will happen. It will be the show, to show America that the Democrats can and will win this November.
What a scene it will be.

Ottawa, Illinois, U.S.
|Alma mater

|Actor, singer
|Years active
|Ann Sperry (1958–present)
Robert Emmet "Bob" McGrath (born June 13, 1932) is an American singer and actor best known for playing the human character Bob Johnson on Sesame Street. He was born in Ottawa, Illinois. McGrath was named for Irish patriot Robert Emmet.
Along with Susan, played by Loretta Long, Bob has been one of the two longest-lasting human characters on the series. A Noggin segment proclaimed the four decades of Bob when promoting Sesame Street on that network.
McGrath has said that his two favorite moments on Sesame Street were Christmas Eve on Sesame Street (a 1978 Christmas special that included a spoof of "The Gift of the Magi"), and the 1983 sequence that candidly addressed the death of longtime character Mr. Hooper, played by Will Lee who had died the previous year.[1]
Early life[edit]
McGrath was born in Ottawa, Illinois on June 13, 1932.
Early career[edit]
McGrath is a 1954 graduate of the University of Michigan's School of Music. While attending Michigan, he was a member of the University of Michigan Men's Glee Club. He worked with Mitch Miller and was the featured tenor on Miller's television singalong series Sing Along with Mitch for five seasons from 1959 to 1964. He was a singer on the Walt Kelly album Songs of the Pogo.
In the mid-1960s, McGrath became a well-known recording artist in Japan, releasing a series of successful albums of Irish and other folksongs and ballads sung in Japanese.[2][3] This aspect of his career was the basis of his "secret" when he appeared on the game shows To Tell the Truth in 1966[4] and I've Got a Secret (February 20, 1967).
Other accomplishments[edit]
For over 30 years, McGrath has been a regular fixture on Telemiracle, a Saskatchewan telethon. On March 3, 2006, he was awarded the Commemorative Medal for the Centennial of Saskatchewan for this work by the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, Lynda Haverstock.[5] He was given the Saskatchewan Distinguished Service Award in 2013 by the Premier of Saskatchewan, Brad Wall.[6] McGrath has been a national cast member of Telemiracle for 37 of the 38 years of the annual Saskatchewan Telethon.
He has written many children's books, including Uh Oh! Gotta Go! and OOPS! Excuse Me Please!.
In 1995, he was awarded a grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists Award.
McGrath's "Sing Me a Story" was nominated for the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards for Children's Album of the year.
On April 10, 2010, he was the first recipient of the University of Michigan Men's Glee Club Lifetime Achievement Award. McGrath also served as master of ceremonies at the Glee Club's 150th Anniversary Celebration weekend.
Personal life[edit]
He and his wife Ann have five children, six granddaughters, and two grandsons. The couple reside in Teaneck, New Jersey.[2][3]

May 9, 2012—A group of elusive Cross River gorillas-including a chest-beating silverback—were recently captured by a Wildlife Conservation Society camera trap in Cameroon. WCS's Cross River gorilla conservation is supported by many government and non-governmental organizations, including National Geographic.
It's rare video of a seldom seen gorilla.
The Cross River gorillas are the rarest, and they're elusive. The shy animals usually flee at the slightest hint of human presence.
So researchers working with the Wildlife Conservation Society hit pay dirt with camera traps in Cameroon's Kagwene Gorilla Sanctuary.
Eight Cross River gorillas are recorded making their way along a forest path.
It's a rare glimpse of these animals, seldom observed, even by scientists who study them.
At one point, a silverback runs through the group, producing a classic chest beating display. WCS theorizes he may have been aware of the camera.
One gorilla appears to be missing a hand, an apparent healed injury, but a reminder of the presence of snares, placed by locals intended for other wildlife.
WCS estimates fewer than 250 individuals of this critically endangered species remain in the wild. Human encroachment on their habitat and poaching remain the biggest threats to these primates.

there is only one bar in town. it is a good distance away from the campus. walking there would not be a problem. make sure you do not get too drunk walking back or you could get ticketed for public intoxication. there are small clubs in the nearby towns of salina and mcpherson. for the big country club you will have to drive 45 minutes to wichita.
the is free wireless for the students but it is not always reliable. the tech people have just updated the system though. there are two computer labs and there are usually plenty of computers available. sometimes the speed of the network is slow, but there are also a lot of students on al at once throughout the day and night.
Off-Campus Dining:
there are a few restaurants off- campus. they are mostly in the town. but they are pretty cheap and have good food. they stay open usually until 10 pm for the students on campus that miss the on- campus meals.
Campus Dining:
there are meals three times a day and they have a kiosk for any one that misses one of the meals. but everything is pricey and the food quality is okay. it is hard to eat healthy at the school and feel like you received your moneys worth. they only give out two different meal plans for people who live on campus. both cost a lot and the difference is only$100 a month.
you receive some financial aid but usually not as much as you need to make sure you do not leave with a lot of debt. they could give out bigger scholarships to the students who do a lot on the campus.
there are a lot of parking lots on campus. it is all free and there is no parking permit. you just have to make sure to keep out of the visitor and handicap parking spots. but both of these are clearly labeled. the parking spots near the dorms fill up quickly, but there is usually some parking near the gym (except game days). the campus is small so the most it takes to get anywhere on campus is 6 minutes.
the facilities are not as modern and updated as they should be. there are a lot of places to study and have two computer labs and some more in the library. printing is free. in the dorms the washing machines and dryers are free to use.the newest update is in the Nelson science building with the 3 new labs. the school likes to "be green". there are recycling bins in every building. the nelson coffee shop uses green based cups. the prices for the drinks are well in the range for college students.
it depends if you like cold weather or not. in the winter it is very cold and there is a lot of snow and ice. the other seasons are diverse. it can be hot or cold. especially when the seasons start transitioning into another one.
Drug Safety:
most of the students on campus drink. a few of them do drugs. these are both not allowed on campus because we are a drug and alcohol free school. however, you cannot go to any parties were the presence of alcohol is not present. a lot of the students are so bored at the small college that they spend their Friday nights and weekends drinking.
Health & Safety:
the town is so small that we mostly use the police of lindsborg. they patrol the streets and bust parties that could potentially have underage students in them. we do have campus security, but you mostly only see them at night when they lock up and make their nightly tours. the lindborg police are always near by so i feel comfortable walking around at night by myself.
Overall Experience:
some of the teachers i would question if they even want to teach college students. some of the teachers do not teach teach the material very well but then give the students a test. the students do not know what is going on in the class and some of the teachers do not care if you fail. however, some of the teachers do care and it shows. the grades increase and the knowledge for that subject also increase. the atmosphere is good at the school. they always have some kind of event going on that keeps the students occupied. the facilities at the campus could improve. most of the dorms are very run down. improving the living conditions at the school would improve the schools ratings.
Overall Experience:
The school is okay, I just don't like being here.
Almost everyone at this school is an athlete.
The teachers do a good job at teaching the majors.
Greek Life:
I don't really know anything about the Greek life.
Campus Dining:
Not very good at all.
School here is so freaking expensive!
I don't own a car.
Average weather everyday. A little chilly.
Off-Campus Dining:
I have to go to a different town to eat late at night.
Campus Housing:
Average campus housing, nothing great.
easy to apply and get into class. must meet school requirements on high school or junior college transfer grades
Experience based education (ebe) are available and are usually required for a degree. the availability of place to intern at are endless whether it be in the surrounding towns or back home
old campus but functions well for all its needs, while up to date renovations keep it in the current century.
Guys & Girls:
some very nice guys and girls who mean the best in everything they do.

Yard and Garden: Tomatoes
Tomatoes, the most popular vegetable in the home garden, come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors — including red, yellow, orange and pink. Home gardeners can select from bite-sized cherry tomatoes to giant beefsteak varieties. ISU Extension horticulturists share details about tomato varieties that growers can use in making tomato selections. To have additional plant and garden questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
In regards to tomatoes, what is meant by the terms determinate and indeterminate?
Determinate and indeterminate refer to the tomato variety's growth habit.
Determinate tomatoes are small, compact plants. They grow to a certain height, stop, then flower and set all their fruit within a short period of time. The harvest period for determinate tomatoes is generally short, making them good choices for canning.
Indeterminate tomatoes continue to grow, flower and set fruit until killed by the first frost in fall. Accordingly, the harvest from indeterminate varieties often extends over a two or three month period. Yields are generally heavier than determinate types, but are usually later to mature. Indeterminate tomatoes are large, sprawling plants which perform best when grown in wire cages or trained on stakes.
In catalogs, tomato varieties often have several letters, such as VFNT, after their name. What do the letters stand for?
The letters indicate the tomato variety's resistance to nematodes and several diseases. The letter "F" following the varietal name indicates resistance to one or more races of the Fusarium wilt fungus. The letters "V", "T" and "N" indicate resistance to Verticillium wilt, tobacco mosaic virus and nematodes, respectively. Resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus is designated as "TSWV."
Resistance to a disease does not mean the plant is immune to the disease. Resistant varieties are less likely to become infected with the disease when compared to susceptible varieties. When plants become infected with a disease, the severity of the disease on a resistant plant will be far less than a susceptible plant.
Most open-pollinated, heirloom tomato varieties have little resistance to common tomato diseases. Most hybrid tomato varieties have resistance to one or more diseases.
Are yellow tomatoes less acidic than red tomatoes?
The acidity levels of yellow tomatoes are similar to red tomatoes. Yellow tomatoes contain more sugar than red tomatoes. As a result, yellow tomatoes taste sweeter than red tomatoes.
I Planted heirloom tomatoes
I Planted heirloom tomatoes in my flower garden this year in past I put in large containers. One was the small tomatoes and they have been producing, another one is producing tomatoes. One died and one has not produced tomatoes and the leaves have curled over the top. I have watered them every morning with a couple of gallons of water. for each plant. The area I planted them is very dry. Some other plants have browned some are okay. I have not watered anything there but the tomatoes. They are on the side of the house that gets the most sun. I didn't not use in miracle grow, I used a fertilizer purchased from the nursery when I bought the tomatoes. Thank you.
Which kind of tomatos are
Which kind of tomatos are less acidic? thanks... nothing better than a homegrown Iowa tomato!

|The Journey
Date: Monday, 10/17/2005
Time: 7:15 pm
Venue: DCJCC
Tickets: $6
Type: Feature presentation
Language: Malayalam with English subtitles
Metro Weekly Rating: (4 out of 5)
by Kristina Campbell
THE JOURNEY IS a lovely picture from India about two girls who grow up together in a culture that doesn't really have a place for them. Kiran (Suhasini V. Nair) and Delilah (Shruiti Menon), who meet as little girls, are inseparable from their first meeting and, as adolescence sets in and the threat of an arranged marriage looms, their true feelings for each other emerge. When a boy who's pining for Delilah spots the girls in an intimate moment, word spreads through the community, and they're forced to face their future.
While Delilah's family proceeds with plans for an arranged marriage, Kiran makes clear to her parents that she won't go that route: ''I don't want a hollow marriage. Why ruin someone else's life, too?'' Meanwhile, Delilah finds support from her widowed grandmother, who tries to dissuade Delilah's mother from forcing the girl into an arranged marriage. ''I don't mind being a lonely old woman,'' she says. ''I just don't want her to be a lonely young girl.'' The film is full of emotion -- angst and joy, heartache and heartbreak -- and lets the viewer follow the girls on a beautiful path to self-discovery.

November 27, 2012
There's little dispute that traffic woes on Route 29's so-called Best Buy ramp to the Route 250 bypass aren't getting any better, especially during rush hour.
"You see a continuing increase in traffic and a need for additional roadway to handle it," said Charlottesville resident Jim Donahue.
"There's several right-hand, left-hand turns, and it is open for a lot of possibilities of accidents, so they do need to have an improvement," said Charlottesville resident Jean Weeks.
The Virginia Department of Transportation showed off some improvements at the Holiday Inn on Emmet Street Tuesday afternoon. The hotel was host to a public hearing on the $11 million project to add lanes to Route 29 south and the on ramp.
"The project meets the need of additional capacity in that area," VDOT spokeswoman Stacy Londrey said.
VDOT wants to add another lane to Route 29 just south of Hydraulic Road extending to Morton Road. They also want to add a lane to the on ramp for the westbound Route 250 bypass.
The project also calls for building a sidewalk in the median of the highway, protected by guardrails.
"In adding an extra lane there, it increases the volume as they go up on the 250 Bypass and just will in general improve safety and traffic flow, not only for the folks using the ramp, but also for the ones going straight through on 29 southbound," Londrey said.
"I think these plans of this section of the project look very good," Donahue said.
Dozens showed up Tuesday afternoon to check out the plans for the first time and offer feedback.
"I think it is going to affect our complex, and I was quite concerned about the noise level [of construction]," Weeks said.
"It gives the opportunity for us to be abreast of the changes and the design and whatnot," Donahue said.
VDOT will incorporate the feedback it receives in the final design, paving the way for a smoother ride along Route 29.
Once the design is finalized, VDOT expects to put the project out to contractors in fall 2014, with construction scheduled to begin in spring 2015.

Watch our tutorial to get Salma's smokey and flawless makeup look from the 2013 Oscars.
Salma Hayek at the Oscars.By Charleen Gonzalez for Shine Latina
The key to a subtle smokey look is blending and smudging. Salma Hayek perfected this smoldering look at the 85th annual Academy Awards. Of course, no one can try to look like Salma, but you can certainly copy her fabulous makeup! The Oscars this year was full of glamour and star power, and Salma looked amazing while presenting at the ceremony in a velvet, black dress and messy bun. This look is actually not too difficult to achieve, as long as you have some smokey, neutral shades and a good black eyeliner.
All the makeup used for this tutorial is from Inglot Cosmetics, where you can create your own custom palettes with their innovative Freedom System.
The eyes have it
Start off by applying an eye makeup primer (Inglot Eye Makeup Base) on the lids and under the eyes. Apply a nude highlight color (Inglot Eyeshadow 361) to the brow bone with a large shader brush (Inglot Eye Brush 28PO). Then choose a smokey, gray brown (Inglot Eyeshadow 363) and apply it with a fluffy shading brush (Inglot Eye Brush 19P) to the lid area. Next take a matte black shadow (Inglot Eyeshadow 63) and an angled liner brush (Inglot Eye Brush 17TL), and smudge the color right above the roots of the upper lash line. Take the fluffy shading brush, and blend the brown and black for a smokey effect. For some sparkle and definition, take a shimmery bronze color (Inglot Eyeshadow 43) and blend along the crease of the eyes.
Salma Hayek tutorial:
With a soft brown color (Inglot Eyeshadow 357) and a rounded crease brush (Inglot Eye Brush 6SS), blend out the bronze color and define the crease. Apply the black shadow under the lower lash line, and then add a shimmery nude color (Inglot Eyeshadow 395) to the inner corner of the eyes. Line the upper lash line and the lower waterline in a dark black; I used a matte gel liner (Inglot Matte Eyeliner Gel 77). Then add plenty of coats of a volumizing mascara for a false lash effect (Inglot Volume & Waterproof Mascara).
Learn how to achieve a flawless foundation!
Warm blush and nude lips
Apply a warm apricot blush (Inglot Freedom System Face Blush 29) with a blush brush (Inglot Face Brush 3P) to the apples of the cheeks. For a pretty sheen to the face, add some subtle highlight powder (Inlgot Highlighting Powder 84) to the highest points of the cheek bones and anywhere you want some added light. Finish off by applying a light, nude lip color (Inglot Freedom System Lipstick 4) with a lip brush (Inglot Lip Brush 12 S).
